Why can't users have Oxwalls store on their sites? | Forum

I am only wondering because clearly they have a store plugin and it's a type of plugin many users would like so why is it Oxwall site exclusive?


I'm not trying to start a petition for release just wondering why it's only allowed on the oxwall site?

Shop Pro: http://www.oxwall.org/store/item/274



Yes I have recently invested in this, It's alright just sad you have to pay for everything separate like the cart system etc. aron is known to force you to buy plugins left right and center just to have the one you want 100% functioning. :P it's not bad just not 100% solid. I was only curious as to why they offer most of their oxwall.org plugins but not the store. 


Not trying to get them to release it, I am just curious about why they are keeping it separate the only thing I can think of is security.

Kenneth,


This has been already discussed here. Oxwall Store is not just a simple plugin which can be installed on any other site powered by Oxwall. But this a complex system with update server connected, which has been targeted for storing and operating plugins/themes only.

Alright I hear yeah, Makes sense for your third party to sell directly through your website.


I take it you have also been asked about if you would consider a less server based store but with a similar layout for your oxwall software?

For sure, we are still considering such option, even a few solutions are already available on store.
